A/N: Ok, this chapter is a little sad. Ya, I know. Totally against code. I don't feel like being funny right now, so I needed a little sadness for it to fit me. So yall can deal? Right? So I'm sorry if this chapter sucks. But, I can say that there probably won't be anymore sad and angst chapters after this.
Yami Tsuki Tenshi—Lol. The contact with Kagome's grandma and Myouga won't happen til next chapter. But, I promise, all hell will probably break loose.
Laura-chan—Yes, Myouga and grandma will indefinitely get Kagome and Inuyasha together. I promises!
totally-wicked—Thanks for the flags! Yay, I have OK Go's CD. So that's how I learned their songs. One of my friends gave it to me. She knew I was a fan so she bought me the CD. I bet it was a good dream, killing the bitch. Well, that's good enough for me!
Jodie-chan—I hate nosy family members. I just freakin hate them! Matchmaking is annoying, I have to admit. But, it's fun for the matchmaker! Did you know that there are even more ramen flavors? I mean there's like 26! I was amazed to go to my grocery store and find about a whole foot of ramen flavors. Ramen…another of my favs!
loca chica—OK GO is a rock band. They're really good. I'm really glad you like my story! Oh, sorry about her grandmother though!
PeaNut BoboOo—Gomen. I don't mean to write short chapters. I just can't help it. My beginning and ending notes end up being really long, making it look like to me, I've written a ton.
iloveanime456—I have to agree with you! OK Go really does rock!
Disclaimer: Don't own. Wish I did. I own Kagome's sister. She's my sister. Get Over It.
Dedication: This chapter is dedicated to my dead sister. She died on September 11th, 2001. This is basically me and what happened. She was my older sister. She was only 25. She died when I was 20. I really miss her. This is dedicated to her and her memory. So, that's why it's so sad. *give me a hankie*

Flashback
"Kagome! Pose for the picture! Come on! Don't stick out your tongue! Come on! This is for your sister, Amiee! She's going away in a month for college! Come on! Act like a 12-year-old!" Kagome's mother stood behind a camera and took Kagome's picture. Her big sister, Amiee, was leaving. She had always loved her big sister, but not taking pictures.
A tall girl with blackish-brown hair and greenish-blue eyes, walked into the garden where the photos were taking place. She laughed at Kagome and walked over to her.
"Amiee!" Kagome shrieked. Her sister had just graduated the day before. She was happy that her sister had been salutatorian, but she was sad she was leaving.
"Amiee, do you really have to leave?" Kagome looked up at her sister. She was so unhappy that her sister decided to go. She had hoped that she would go to the college in Tokyo. But, she went to another in America. That seemed so far away to Kagome. Her sister would only be back during breaks. And that was only 4 breaks. She really wished her sister would reconsider. But, ever since she had applied to some big college in America and gotten in, she had been fixated on going there. No matter what it meant had to be given up.
"Hai, Kagome. I really have to leave. But, I promise I'll come back. I promise."

3 months after
"Amiee!" Kagome ran to her sister. Her sister was finally back. And now Kagome was older. She was 13. But, she forgot that she was a teenager and ran and hugged her sister. She had missed her sharing her room, helping her with homework and being there to talk to.
"Kagome!" Amiee ran and hugged Kagome even tighter. She was so happy to see her sister. She missed her care-free sister.

"Mama, when is Amiee coming home?" A 16-year-old Kagome asked her mother. Kagome sat by the window and looked out, hoping to see her sister pull up with her dad. Amiee hadn't come back to Japan on her last break and it had been 6 months since Kagome had seen her.
"Mama! There's the car!" Kagome yelled to her mother. She ran out the door and hugged her dad as he stepped out of the car. But, he didn't look happy to see her. He seemed sad. Nothing like her dad usually did.
"Dad? What's wrong?" Kagome looked up at her dad, puzzled. He had a stern face on and his eyes were puffy.
"Kagome, let's go inside." He stammered. He couldn't seem to find his words.
"Where's Amiee?" Kagome looked up at her dad. He seemed lost and down.
"Let's talk inside, Kagome." He said sternly to her.
Kagome led her dad in. Then, five minutes later, hysteric cries were heard outside the house, on the street.

"We are gathered here to mourn the lose of Higurashi Amiee, a young girl in her prime. She was only 21. To the family, we know it is a hard thing to go through…" The priest kept on chanting. Amiee's ashes lay in a jar. Kagome kept looking at the jar, as if she stopped looking, it would disappear forever.
Kagome had been listening to the priest, but she knew it was all rehearsed. She didn't want this all to be just a usual thing. Death was not a usual thing to her. It did not happen everyday to her only sister.
Kagome finally let one tear fall down her cheek. Amiee was gone. She still couldn't imagine it.
Amiee had been on her way to the airport. Some drunk teen killed her. They just cruised along. Flying high. Amiee had died. All because of a stupid guy who was so out of it, he had gone over 40 miles over the speed limit. And Amiee had to die because of this one boy. He hadn't even really been hurt. Only her sister. Her sister, who died.

End of Flashback
Kagome woke up in a sweat. It was that dream again. That dream of Amiee dying. She had always hated that dream. It was so scary.
She had to have some music. She turned on her stereo and kept the volume low just to make sure no one in the house woke up because of her.
"How long did we all think this would last?
Who could have counted days as they flew past?
But before we go, sing us a song.
Sing us a song to hum through the hours of dying.
Who would have thought it'd come as such a show?
A pink and silver day…who was to know?
Even as we go, sing us a song.
Sing us a song, to hum through the hours of dying."
To her pleasure, Kagome fell into a dreamless sleep.
A/N: *sniff, sniffle* Gomen. I can't help it. My sister died two years ago, and it is still a VERY touchy subject. Sorry for no Inuyasha or Miroku or Sango. But, I had to get that in there sometime.
Anyway, the song at the end is called "Shortly Before the End". Of course, by OK Go. It's so sad sounding.
Please review. Even if you hate this chapter cause it's so sad, please review.
I'd really appreciate it.
